Montpellier Preview
Montpellier and Brest are together in the rankings, but they are both going through quite different moments. Montpellier is caught in a more serious situation, as it has only won 1 match and lost 5 of its last 6 games.
Among those matches, they suffered a 6-1 defeat by Nice, which was a catastrophic fail. Romain Pitau, who came in to save the club, was unable to do so. The team’s outlook is complicated because it is two points above the relegation places.
It is evident that its defense is weak, but its offense is worse, scoring only 5 goals in this six-game losing streak. Montpellier is now playing at home, where it has won only 3 of 11 matches played at the Stade de la Mosson.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Benjamin Lecomte; Enzo Mbiayi, Boubakar Kouyaté, Maxime Esteve, Issiaga Sylla; Jordan Ferri, Joris Chotard, Khalil Fayad; Arnaud Nordin, Stephy Mavididi, Wahbi Khazri.
Brest Preview
The reality of Les Pirates is different, as they have shown some improvement. They have not lost the last 5 matches they have played, and they have achieved 4 ties and one win. It might not be the best record in the world, but they have not been defeated in a while.
The team defeated Angers 4-0, and that has made it possible for the squat to breathe a little. In the following matches, the team draw against Lyon (0-0) and against Lens (1-1). Those were very complicated matches, as both teams, especially Lens, have a superior squad and a superior pace by far.
Brest’s defense has looked very solid in recent games, allowing only two goals in this 5-match streak, and although it generates little offensively, it is usually effective. Eric Roy took over the team on matchday 17, and he has taken them out of the relegation zone, based mainly on the defensive play.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Marco Bizot; Kenny Lala, Achraf Dari, Christophe Herelle, Christophe Herelle, Lilian Brassier; Pierre Melou; Franck Honorat, Mahdi Camara, Haris Belkebla, Jeremy Le Douaron; Steve Mounié.
JefeBet Prediction
Brest’s improvement is evident and that makes us think that it will win the away match against Montpellier. Its away record indicates otherwise, as it has only won two games.Les Pirates are currently sailing, and they have a very good chance of surpassing Montpellier at its home field.
Although they met on matchday 4 and La Palliade beat Brest 7-0 at home, they were a different team. Eric Roy has transformed them. The desire to avenge the humiliation will serve as fuel for them to win the second leg of the championship.
Prediction: Montpellier 0-1 Brest.
